Q: How do you fill an unwanted in-ground pool?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-fill-swimming-pool.htm">steps to fill a swimming pool</a> will depend on your local building codes. However, it starts with draining the pool of all water using a submersible pump. Then your pro will lift the pool shell from the ground or break it into pieces for individual removal. The next step is filling the cavity with dirt and gravel and topping it with topsoil. Once a structural engineer deems the site safe, landscaping can start.</p></div>

Q: Can you put an in-ground pool in your basement?

• <div><p>In many homes, an unfinished basement is an ideal place for an in-ground pool. The concrete floors, protection against water damage, and access to the ground below your home make this a large contender. Speak with a <a href="https://www.angi.com/companylist/remodeling-basements.htm">local basement remodeling contractor</a> to ensure your space is right for the large construction. </p></div>

Q: What month should I open my pool?

• <div><p>In most cases, late May or early June are the most popular times to open a pool, depending on your location. It&rsquo;s a good idea to open your pool when the outdoor temperature sits consistently above 65 to 70 degrees (F). At this point, algae will begin to flourish in your water, so opening the pool and adding the proper chemicals will <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-remove-algae-from-pool.htm">avoid excessive pool algae</a> growth.</p></div>

Q: What is a good-sized pool for a small backyard?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/small-backyard-ideas.htm">Small backyards</a> are not a reason to write off fun upgrades like an above ground pool. You can find both soft and hard-sided above ground pools as small as 8 feet in diameter as well as 9-by-18-feet rectangles or 10-by-16-feet ovals. You will need at least 2 to 3 feet around the outside of your pool for additional support and for placing pool equipment, but a professional pool installer can help you find a model that's right for your tiny outdoor space.</p></div>

Mark is great. We had a water softener a long time ago and it was cheaply installed. It was great to have a real plumber do the work this time. Very professional job. Weâ ve also hired A Good Plumber for plumbing since.
